Latest JAIF status...

The latest JAIF status document adds some new categories but unfortunately reflects a couple of setbacks.

The listing for spent fuel integrity (including number of elements actually known to be stored in the spent fuel pools) shows possible damage (probable, we'd say) for No. 3 and No. 4 plants. Another new category added is control room habitability, which still is not good.

Another item on the third graphic is that the No. 5 and No. 6 plants are back on the EDG (Emergency Diesel Generator) for no explicable reason.
